Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

A series of brief guitar improvisations based on the visual art of Thomas Hornung, who creates chalk artwork that usually takes less than 1 minute to create. Intrigued by his unusual approach to drawing, Fields developed a method to convert 171 of Hornung's pieces into a multi-page graphic score by making a matrix of pitch rows and numbers that represent playing techniques. This CD also contains an mpeg 55 minute video of Arno Oehri's video of Fields performing "Drawings" live.

Scott Fields was born in Chicago and lived in Chicago Heights until he turned 14, when he ran away from home. For a while he panhandled and worked as a spotter for drug dealers in the Hyde Park neighborhood (where the AACM flowered) on the South Side, where he first learned guitar, sitting in the wings of the Regal Theater and listening to blues musicians on Maxwell Street, while earning pocket change by stealing hubcaps from tourists' cars and then selling them back as identical replacements. He now lives in Cologne, Germany, and has worked with Elliot Sharp, Guillermo Gregorio, John Hollenbeck, Matthias Schubert, Thomas Lehn, Michael Zerang, &c. &c.


The enhanced CD contains a studio performance of the composition "Drawings", a 55 minute mpeg file of ArnoOehri's video "301Miniaturen".

Artist Biographies

"Scott Fields (born September 30, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois) is a guitarist, composer, and bandleader. He is best known for his attempts to blend music that is composed and music that is written and for his modular pieces (see 48 Motives, 96 Gestures and "OZZO"). He works primarily in avant-garde jazz, experimental music, and contemporary classical music.

Fields was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He started as a self-taught rock musician but soon was influenced by the musicians of the Association for the Advancement for Creative Musicians (AACM), which was active in the Hyde Park neighborhood in which he grew up. Later he studied classical guitar, jazz guitar, music composition, and music theory. In 1973 Fields co-founded the avant-garde jazz trio Life Rhythms. When the group disbanded two years later, he played sporadically but soon was institutionalized for an extended period. He almost quit music until 1989.

Since then he has performed and composed actively. His ensembles and partnerships have included such musicians as Marilyn Crispell, Hamid Drake, John Hollenbeck, Joseph Jarman, Myra Melford, Jeff Parker, and Elliott Sharp."
